According to the Thane Municipal Corporation's disaster management cell, the Thane accident occurred on Shilphata Road, opposite the Royal Hotel in Thane, at approximately 2:03 AM today. An Ashok Leyland Tusker Turbo container (MH 04 EL 8369) was parked on the roadside, heading from Mumbai to Panvel. An auto rickshaw (MH 43 CA 5867), driven by 32-year-old Ashok Kumar, a resident of Navi Mumbai, lost control and collided with the container from behind.
The impact of the Thane accident trapped Kumar inside the rickshaw. Emergency services, including Daighar police, a private ambulance, fire brigade personnel, and an emergency tender vehicle, quickly arrived at the scene. Firefighters and police worked together to extricate the driver from the wreckage. Kumar was then transported to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment for his injuries.
The accident caused a temporary traffic slowdown on the Mumbra to Panvel road for about 30 minutes. However, with the assistance of police personnel, the auto-rickshaw was cleared from the road, and traffic flow has since been restored.
Further investigation into the accident is ongoing.
